Toti put public function at private disposal says GIP

The preliminary investigations judge
(GIP) of Genoa said Liguria Governor Giovanni Toti put his
public function at the disposal of private interests in a graft
probe that has led to his house arrest Tuesday.

   
"On the occasion of and in conjunction with the four electoral
competitions that followed one another in 18 months from 2021 to
2022, Toti, pressed by the need to find funds to face the
electoral campaign, made his function and powers available for
the benefit of private interests, in exchange for funding,
reiterating the mechanism with several entrepreneurs", said the
GIP.

   
Toti, a former Berlusconi journalist and political advisor,
denies wrongdoing.
